List

Things I would like to accomplish in the near future:

May:

• Do well on finals.  I guess I really need to focus on chem and classics, which makes me a feel a tiny bit better.
• Have fun at home before summer session starts.  Private school and other Cal kids, yay!
• Visit Monta Vista?  Perhaps, perhaps.
• I really want to go to San Diego but the parents are not big on this idea.  But there are two people there that I really really would love to visit and more people that would be fun to visit.  Haha.
• Bike and go the YMCA a lot while I’m home.  I want to be fit again and not feel like a fatass.  Just because I haven’t gained a huge amount of weight doesn’t mean I’m still fit.  Too bad.

June:

• Hangouts with quarter system kids before summer session starts.
• Reorganize everything in my room at home.  I feel like I need to tie up loose ends and put things in place.  Otherwise, I feel like a little kid again whenever I go home.  We’ll see about this one.
• Learn how to cook so I don’t starve because I’m living in an apartment for the summer.  I do not want to live off of cereal, pasta, and sandwiches.  I guess I know how to make omelets…and bake a few things.

July:

• Work my butt off and own my classes.  Puahaha.
• Go home and hang out with friends once in a while because I don’t have classes on Fridays!
• Convince people to come visit me in Berkeley.

And that is all I have the energy to think about because anything beyond summer makes me an official second year which is really strange.  Sometimes when I’m walking around Berkeley I feel like everything is still too new to me.  Actually I think part of that is because this is my first spring in Berkeley and I love spring and green leaves and flowers and other things.

But I do not like pollen.

Okay friends.  We should learn how to cook together and you should all come to Berkeley in the summer so I can cross some things off my list.

Spring

It’s been sunny and nice the past few days and it is really making me look forward to Spring Break!  Even though I have two midterms and an eight page paper due the week I get back, I’m excited to get to see most of my friends and go home.  Can you believe I haven’t been home in three weeks?  That’s a pretty long time for me.

It’s weird, sometimes I feel like I go home too much, but then isn’t that one of the main reasons I chose Berkeley?  I don’t know.  But not going home for a while makes me look forward to it so much more!  My bed, my bathroom, my washing machine…ohhh the things I miss.  Or maybe it’s just because I’m a widdle freshman and still need some home loving.  Righto.

Speaking of choosing schools, college acceptances are coming out!  Tis the season for both joy and sadness.  I am excited for my 09 friends, but also feel really weird because they’ve always felt like my little siblings to some extent, and now they’re all grown up!  Time really does fly doesn’t it?

Anyway, I am doing my best to avoid outlining my paper (how am I going to write eight pages arguing something about Greek myth?!) so I’m kind of just rambling on here.

Hm.  You know my life is kind of sad when I get locked out of my room and decide to call my mom while I’m waiting to be let in.  Just kidding, I love my mommy.  She loves my grammar.  Harhar!
